Intro (Pitched-down whisper, wide reverb, distant crowd noise) Yeah… spotlight… All alone again… Lights flicker, heart heavy… (Soft 808 rumble fades in) Verse 1 Lovin’ you felt like a fairytale, faded scenes Glass slippers crack when you walk away from me Can’t pick up the phone, yeah, I’m jaded now Conversations echo but you’re silent now Tried to hold us steady when the floor gave in Every promise folded like a note I hid One more night, one more fight in my head Same song playin’, yeah, all alone again Pre-Chorus Lovin’ you felt like I’m dreamin’, floatin’ high Every touch had me slippin’ outta time Now you’re gone, can’t believe it, feelin’ dead All the truth got distorted in my head Don’t care if you believe in me, nah Still ask myself why you leavin’ me Don’t care if you believe me, swear Still wonder why you tease me there Chorus If I’m takin’ this the wrong way (wrong way) You can tell me what you’re thinkin’, no delay It’s when you put me in the spotlight (spotlight) Crowd around me but I’m faded anyway If I’m takin’ this the wrong way (so faded) Say it straight, don’t let it live in my head Spotlight burnin’, yeah, you got me twisted Spotlight, yeah, spotlight — all alone again Verse 2 Moon hit your skin, yeah, I see you glow But it’s not with me, and I already know Sun comes up, you wake next to someone else I’m still fightin’ thoughts I can’t shelf Late nights, drownin’ out the pain Tryna quiet down the sound of your name Ghosts in the room, yeah, they talk too loud Empty house but I feel the crowd Ink on my skin still tellin’ your lies Ceilin’ fan spinnin’ while I stare at the sky I gave you my truth, you gave me a show Now I’m backstage hurt, watchin’ you go Pre-Chorus 2 Lovin’ you felt like a beautiful lie Every high came with a goodbye Now you’re gone, and I’m stuck instead Replayin’ moments we never said Don’t care if you believe in me, nah Still wonder why you’re leavin’ me Don’t care if you believe me, swear Still feel you when you’re not there Chorus If I’m takin’ this the wrong way (wrong way) You can tell me what you’re thinkin’, no delay It’s when you put me in the spotlight (spotlight) Smile on my face but I’m breakin’ away If I’m takin’ this the wrong way (so faded) Say it straight, don’t let it live in my head Spotlight burnin’, yeah, you got me twisted Spotlight, yeah, spotlight — all alone again Bridge (Beat strips back — ambient pads, heartbeat bass) Crowd cheers loud but I can’t hear myself Mirror talks back like I’m someone else I gave you my soul, you wanted the show Guess I loved you deeper than you’ll ever know Lights go down, curtains close I’m still here but you won’t know If love’s a stage, then I played my part Took all the blame with a broken heart Final Chorus If I’m takin’ this the wrong way (wrong way) Tell me now before I fade away You put me under the spotlight (spotlight) All these eyes but I feel outta place If I’m takin’ this the wrong way (so faded) Say my name, don’t let it die in my head Spotlight burnin’, yeah, I’m still twisted Spotlight, yeah, spotlight — all alone again Outro (808s fade, vocals drenched in reverb) Moon hit your skin… see you with him… Not you and me… yeah… Spotlight… spotlight… All alone again…
